• These are used to indicate who possesses certain items. When we use possessive adjectives, we do not use definite or indefinite articles.– my cat mi el gato– your book tu el libro

• Possessive adjectives must agree in number!– my cats mis gatos– your books tus libros

• Only the nosotros and vosotros forms must agree in gender with the thing possessed– our cat nuestro el gato– our class nuestra la clase

IMPORTANT!!! ACCENT MARKS

• Remember what happened when we *forgot* the accent marks on the following sentence?– Mi papá tiene 50 años.

• It’s super important that we pay attention to the accent mark on the word “tú” and “tu”– tú bailas.– tu bailas. doesn’t work.• Why? “tu” is a possessive adjective.

1. Quickly do the first 10 questions on your own. When you’re finished, check your answers with your neighbor!

2. Now, do “About my [Fill in the Blank]” with your neighbor.
